3 | Titles of the definite-article + gerund format, i.e. "The [verb]ing". And since it's about something happening, it's an EventTitle sub-trope as well. |

5 | The use of this format for titling HorrorFilms is sometimes parodied, and is usually a good indicator that the film is very definitely a B-Grade one (despite the TropeNamer, ''Film/TheShining'', being anything but low-quality). It's also a very easy way to give your sequel a [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo memorable subtitle]]. |

105 | * Ruthlessly parodied in season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'', with such episode titles as "The Shaving", "The Cubing", and of course, "The The". |
